Photographer Question?????

The best thing would be to ask your photographer to get them scanned for you as, if he is using a professional lab, most if these labs do a scanning service as well as printing.

If not you could try these guys http://www.multiprintimaging.co.uk/ They are a professional printing lab (so good quality) but are available for use by the general public too.

The only thing I would say is firstly to make sure you have permission from the photographer to scan the photos, otherwise you will be in breach of copyright. You will need a formal letter from him giving permission otherwise you will not be able to get anywhere to scan them (even the supermarkets shouldn't scan without this proof), the above mentioned lab will definitely need this.

Secondly, think about the quality you want the images scanned at. High quality print scanning is very expensive but will give you scan quality that you can print from in the future. However, if you only ever want the scanned images to use on a computer, email, create a DVD slideshow, then you should be fine with lower quality scanning.

Ask your photographer to send the negatives to the lab and have them scanned professionally. Easy

Ask him for the negatives cos I think if u give them in at boots they can put them on cd. ring boots to check. hth

Ok thankyou for answering my question,im going to get my h2b to give him a ring about getting them scanned at his lab

It will depend on the resoulution of the scan as to the extra cost. Low res is suitable for web use and online sharing although not really much use for printing. Higher resolution scans costs considerably more and may be useful for printing, although this may be outside the photographers desire as they will potentially lose reprint orders from the guests...
